]]>I have a confession to makehttp://www.voxego-design.com/news/2010/8/4/i-have-a-confession-to-make.htmlJames2010-08-04T13:30:04ZConfessions Distractions Entertainment

Not long back from a great holiday in the sun with the family.

While away my wife 'consumed' all four of the Twilight books while bathing in the sun. I had them pegged as Mills and Boons with fangs and claws.

As you can imagine I heard alot about the story and characters. There were two other (female) fans staying next to us. You can imagine the chat.

However, when we got home I agreed to watch the first film with my wife.

My confession. I liked it. Couldn't wait to watch the second one the following night. Downloading the third at the moment... Sorry.

]]>The decline of productivity: Social media and web contenthttp://www.voxego-design.com/news/2010/7/7/the-decline-of-productivity-social-media-and-web-content.htmlJames2010-07-07T13:54:00ZDistractions SillyI'm not going to knock social media or the vast amount of content that is floating around out there on the internet. They are both great for many reasons.

I'm just shocked that anyone can be productive anymore! Or am I the only one that occasionally finds something that gabs my attention then an hour later realise that I've been led down a long winding garden path littered with useless information and diversions?

It stands to reason why employers are taking steps to curb web use in the office. Why shouldn't they. It's akin to your staff staring out the window for hours.

That aside, I do think you should check out this site. See you in a couple of hours (or days)...

]]>Things, they are a changinghttp://www.voxego-design.com/news/2010/5/14/things-they-are-a-changing.htmlJames2010-05-14T08:20:40ZAnnouncement Changes NewsAs many of you will know by now Voxego have taken the step to change the way we operate. No longer do we have a centralised office in Glasgow but are remote working from our respective offices and homes.

Technology and the nature of the majority of our work have made this a realistic option. Two months in to the change and this premise appears to have been well proven to be the case.

More to follow in the future with details on how it can be done or things we have done to make it work even better.

]]>Christmas already!!!http://www.voxego-design.com/news/2009/12/23/christmas-already.htmlJames2009-12-23T14:23:25ZAnnouncement Christmas NewsNormally we are organised enough to have produced a snazzy, jazzy, funky electronic animated Chrsitmas greeting message that we send out to all those that we like. This year however we have far too busy for such. Afterall, clients always come first.

So, to all those that have been staring cross-eyed at their inbox waiting for this years greeting - get over it! It isn't coming.

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Looking forward to all that 2010 brings.

]]>I know a song...http://www.voxego-design.com/news/2009/10/6/i-know-a-song.htmlJames2009-10-06T16:36:00ZDistractions Music SillyEven before Chocolate Rain there was this song. Be warned, even just reading the first couple of lines will engrain the tune in your head for the entire day. Apologies in advance for doing this...

i know a song that will get on your nerves,

get on your nerves;
i know a song that will get on your nerves,
get, get, get on your nerves.
